22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of dank hops, light pine and resins. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of dank, herbal and piney hops, a few resins, and just enough dry biscuity malt base. Piney, dank and very bright. Well-balanced and nicely assertive. Excellent.

Hazy dullHazy, dull, light amber. Has a fair bit of chewiness on the nose, a touch of alcohol and some vague dankness. Has a weedy note, with a fair bit of chewiness and a lot of chewiness. All told, it’s not bad, but it’s a bit chewy and the hint of alcohol in the finish isn’t matched by any brightness.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits. Med + body. Flavor is pale stone fruits attempting to be dank. Seems to have a citrus/pine aspect after the fruit flows away. Seems reasonably dry. There’s a tongue burn- hop and/or heat. Hard to decide. Prickles on the tongue. Fruity, bitter, delicious. Very recommended.
